... clients frankly don't need this headache or the extra money for that matter, they are currently in Bermuda where they intend to stay. They have kindly had a complete and thorough survey done which will be made available when a non refundable deposit of ten percent is deposited into my client account but I can assure you that the only negative on the report is a few broken roof tiles and leaking plumbing in the tack room.

"All things considered you are a very lucky man to have the privilege of being offered this wonderful country house first, you may have the property for 3.2 million, right here, right now, all I need is your signature here."
